Jury asks more questions in Myspace Murder

TRENTON ó Jurors in the Myspace murder-conspiracy case just came in with questions for the judge indicating they are considering suspect Keith Williamsí argument that he backed out of the assassination of Arrell Bell at the last minute.

In one of two questions to Mercer County Superior Court Judge Robert C. Billmeier, the jury asked if Williams saying he backed out didnít mean others might started a second, separate conspiracy.

They also asked about the second lesser offense of witness tampering they were told they could consider if they find Williams not guilty of taking part in a gang conspiracy to murder supposed snitch Bell, 20.

In a return note the judge and lawyers for both sides said to be any part of the conspiracy at any time is enough responsibility. The jury, which yesterday called itself at an impasse, went back to deliberations just before lunch and are expected to take a break soon.
